Boulder pay-by-phone app offers new parking option

Boulder has partnered with the mobile app Parkmobile to offer a new, pay-by-phone option for those parking downtown, on University Hill and on the University of Colorado campus.

When the mixed-use development Boulder Junction opens, the service will also be available there.

Using Parkmobile, which is available on iPhone, Android, Windows 7 and Blackberry phones, users can pay for parking and then opt to receive a text alert when their time is close to expiring, with an option to avoid a ticket by adding more time.

Pay-by-phone users will have to register with the app and provide their credit card and license plate numbers. There is a $0.35 convenience fee per transaction.

Boulder is pretty good at producing rock bands, and by "rock," we mean the in-your-face, guitar-heavy, leather-clad variety — you know, the good kind. For a prime example, look no farther than BANDITS. Full Story
